3.9

Correlating the seven kinds of two truths with the four kinds of twelve links of dependent origination: The four conventional [truths]—of the Tripiṭaka, Shared, Distinctive, and the Shared entered by the Perfect—are the two kinds of conceivable twelve links of dependent origination. The two ultimate [truths] of the Tripiṭaka and the Shared are the conceivable twelve links of dependent origination, namely the cessation of ignorance up to the cessation of old age and death. In the two conventional [truths] of the Distinctive and the Distinctive entered by the Perfect: the side of existence is the conceivable twelve links of dependent origination; the side of non-existence is the conceivable cessation of ignorance up to the cessation of old age and death. The conventional of the Perfect extends to the four kinds of twelve links of dependent origination both within and outside the realm. The five kinds of ultimate truths—the Shared entered by the Distinctive, the Shared entered by the Perfect, the Distinctive, the Distinctive entered by the Perfect, and the Perfect—are the inconceivable twelve links of dependent origination outside the realm, namely the cessation of ignorance up to the cessation of old age and death.
